sky in with holding channels shock NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT TTT

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

What the joke

It ok for BT to hold back channels but when Sky do it to BT.:bigcry:

But saying that it an good job that our Cable Network do not start with an 'B' I mean Sky are 'in war' this week with The BBC and BT.:)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

so so true Den they will never ever change

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I'm sure if Sky offered the missing sports channels to BT you view customers direct BT wouldn't complain so long as they where available on its box. All this is where virgin now have no bargaining power, once again we have to say who ever Did the deal for the living channels etc completely had no foresight.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

That's actually a fair point , at the moment there's no BT Sports available on VM , Smallworld , Talk Talk or Top up TV and its only available on the Sky platform because they can sell it direct.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I be same with bt if they with hold it as I am with sky with holding channels MM mate

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Why would a leopard want to change its spots? that would be strange indeed

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Please remind us of the gems that VM acquired whilst they owned those channels.

Hopefully that includes TVA + MRS.

WTF :confused:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

TVA = travel, vacuuming, accounting channel...people who have an interest in all three

MRS = Marshmellow, radish sandwiches...the channel that celebrates the exotic food combinations

WTF = Wisdom, Tenacity and Focus

TV Anywhere + Multi-room Streaming. I'm guessing no-one else uses TVA/MRS then.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

The new channels are already MRSable.

Food Network and Travel Channel is listed on TV Anywhere web site right now.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Until the main channels are MRS enabled, MRS remains pretty useless and a complete waste of a (very useful) USP.

I record Undercover Boss on C4 each morning, but because of recording clashes, I have to manually record it in two parts. The first part always deletes straight away as normal, but the second part can take up to a minute to delete!

I've also noticed this happen to programmes interrupted by a reboot. The first part is ok when deleting, but the second part takes ages.

Do you know why this is so (and has anybody else noticed this)?

Interesting, thanks for posting that.

As I have posted before the 'rubbish' channels like QVC and Smooth Radio pay Virgin Media to get onto the network.

Then Virgin reuse it to go after the good channels like ITV2 HD and Animal Planet HD.

What Policy is that? I'm sure we've been over this before, but the last "official" word from VM was that Sky offered it to VM at a price that they didn't think was of value.

It will come eventually, just a matter of changes to circumstances...

I'm probably being pedantic, but there's a difference between withholding and overcharging. Agreed, the end result is the same.

I still think VM will come up with a bargaining chip of sorts, which may force Sky to rethink their policy / costs.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

You could have asked them and ducked very quickly to avoid been slapped :erm:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

The bargaining chip is that VM are allowing Sky the use of their broababnd system for overflow

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

well they overcharging for SA and totally with holding sky sports 3+4 HD f1 HD ect and sports sports 3+4 SD from bt ect only channels I can see us having a chance of getting from sky is SSN HD and sky news HD

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Hardly surprising considering BSKYB are paying Virgin Media £49 million for the luxury , its a business deal good news for both parties.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I think we will see some things that are part of this deal as the year progresses :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Indeed Dave. From what information I have gleaned, as far as Sky channels go, in the short term we are only likely to get SSN HD and Sky News HD.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I'm not sure why people connect the deal for Sky to buy backhaul from VM with the possibility of more Sky channels appearing on VM TV.

Sky buys backhaul from other suppliers too, most notably BT. It hasn't made them any more keen to supply them with Sky Sports has it?

The story has no connection with TV channels whatsoever.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Is that a new adult channel? :scratch:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Your too quick at replying , I deleted my post you've quoted as I didn't word it very well , I'm sure the deal is purely one for backhaul capacity between Sky and VM Business however deals like this can't do relations between the two any harm hopefully bringing more deals to fruition , I guess we'll have to wait and see. :)

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Seems Blighty's EPG info stops on DigiGuide at the start of the month (all other UKTV channels listing as normal), so looks like Drama is a replacement, so high chance we will get this!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Blighty is no longer listed on the UKTV website. Drama seems to have taken it's place. I assume that Drama will be a direct swap for Blighty across all TV platforms.

It used to be suggested that they used their daytime slot on 5 USA as a gateway onto cable. No real surprise that the channel will be appearing in its own right now that they no longer have the slot on 5 USA.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.

Who says that QVC is RUBBISH.....IMHO it's the best shopping channel on tv by a long shot. There's even rumours going about that it will soon be available in HD!

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Cool! I am really looking forward to seeing Drama come to Virgin; they have some really classic dramas such as Auf Wiedersehen Pet and Lark Rise to Candleford which would be nice to see return to TV. Good to see Blighty close; some of their shows are repeats from the other UKTV channels.

I have also seen that Yesterday is becoming a completely factual channel (which it should have been, anyway) and I think all dramas will move over to Drama.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Well here's a novel idea Dave,perhaps Virginmedia should pay out all that money up front to purchase channels and /or sport's events (as Sky and BT have) then it to would have the right to withhold those channels....... but we all know that will never happen so lets keep blaming the "bad guys"...:rolleyes:

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

Yes, but would you be happy if Virgin forked out loads of money for the channels and then put the prices up for customers to pay for them? No? Thought not.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

To be fair BT have forked out millions yet just put a quid on the line rental, something we will most likely get in the next price rise anyway.

Plus there are still a boatload of non-sports content they could get for far cheaper, but no.

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

I slightly disagree, ive been asked it before and never been able to work out why, but surely the adult channels should be after the kids channels? I know you can turn them off but some people don't, im sure MumsNet are up in arms about it...

Re: Coming Soon to Virgin TV (2013) Vol. 2.
 

My own view is The adult channels should be after the radio channels - From Channel 970.

But Virgin will not do it so that why I have put Sports and News channels before we get to the Kids Channels as some of the kids know Virgin have got the channels they love on Channels 7-- mark right now.
